 Oldstem idahoa Idahoa scapigera |
 aka Flat pod, scale pod |
 Found in my yard. 3% grade, dry, well drained arid soil, full sun. |
 Rosettes first appeared about the middle of February. |

 They were all gone to seed by the end of March |

 The seed pod stays on the stem like miniature money plants until the snow comes and knocks the pods off or high winds blow them loose. |
 By the time I photographed these dried seedpods on April 18, they had already been papery for a couple of weeks. |
